Occasionally I hit these projects when they are in old portions of the city. You have to time it perfectly and usually only get one or two shots at it. They started this yesterday, I hit it last night, and today it's all gravel!
I found one nice bar token, a small bottle about 3" tall and other interesting items.
The bottle reads: 30 Phenolax Wafers Upjohn
If you are real lucky and in real old parts of town, the equipment can dig up and expose privys and bottles can be found.
The rest is buried for another 80 years!

Wow, you sure did time it right! Got some really nifty old relics, and even a ring. Nicely done! I keep trying to find those teapots, but never hit them right. I usually find them either just as they are rolling the asphalt, or right after you've already cleaned it out. :lol:

So much history right under our feet, all we need is a way to get to it. Good job rescuing those relics, Darren! I love that token and the little bottle.
:congrats:
